The City is looking for qualified graduates to apply for its Supply Chain Management (SCM) Graduate Internship Programme. Ten positions have been created and the closing date for applications is Monday, 14 November 2022.

‘The internship opportunities begin in February next year, for suitably qualified graduates in the fields of Finance, Supply Chain Management, Law, and the Built Environment. The purpose of this programme is to provide graduates with the opportunity to learn from experts in their field, and to build capacity within our Supply Chain Management department. Successful applicants will be appointed on a three-year contract, which will give them the opportunity to acquire valuable skills and experience in this increasingly sought-after field.

‘Supply chain management is critical to project and service delivery in the City, and requires highly professional and skilled staff to manage the procurement value chain. The City of Cape Town is developing a Centre of Excellence within its supply chain, and is constantly looking at ways to improve and refine its systems, and increase professional capacity. A well-run, efficient and effective system adds value to the public and the procurement of goods and services for the City’s residents, and is a cornerstone of our Vision for a City of Hope.

‘The City has recognised the need to nurture and develop fresh young talent to improve capacity and ensure that it keeps growing and improving in this highly complex and regulated environment,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Finance, Councillor Siseko Mbandezi.

‘This programme is very close to the heartbeat of the City’s determination to offer employment and training to individuals in a meaningful way. We welcome applications for the 10 paid internships, and encourage qualified applicants to make sure they apply before the deadline,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Corporate Services, Alderman Theresa Uys.

Applicants may apply online at www.capetown.gov.za/careers. Applicants must be recent graduates of a tertiary institution, and be in possession of a recognised degree or diploma in one of the relevant fields. In order to be considered, applications must be sent through by 14 November 2022.
